ST. MICHAEL SCHOOL GIVING OPPORTUNITIES

Statistics show that graduating from a Catholic school has a favorable impact on a high school education and even a college education. St. Michael School must plan for a strong future. Please take a moment to consider the following tax-deductible opportunities. Each contribution can be made in Honor of someone special or a special occasion (birthday, anniversary…) or as a Memorial for a deceased family member or friend. What a beautiful and meaningful way to help keep the memory alive of someone who was dedicated to the mission of Catholic education while contributing to the education of a deserving child.
